LATEST THEORIES

Alright so we are supposed to believe that:


- Sheriff McAllister was a real psychic and that's how he knew about the names on the list. He just had a good guess.

- He had a phobia for birds but still he took his time killing Partridge and painting Lisbon's face in a house full of pigeons.

- He had twelve or thirteen wives, among which the incredibly hot Lorelei.

- He is such a genius he controls the lives of thousands of people with no one knowing his identity.

- He anticipated most of Patrick's tricks to catch him.

- And sooooooo on.


But he couldn't guess Patrick would hide a gun in the church where HE wanted to meet with RJ?


Bruno Heller and CBS think we are dumb and will buy anything, but I won't buy this shit. McAllister is a shitty Red John (even though he's a good actor) in a shitty episode, shitty scenario and shitty development, last sunday's episode didn't answer any of my questions.

Where the fuck are JJ Laroche, Krystina Frye, Erica Flynn, Walter Mashburn, Madeleine Hightower, Patrick's father, Rosalind Harker??? Bruno Heller had all the elements he needed and plenty of interesting characters, yet he chose to use Reed Smith, McAllister, Cordero, or some random religious woman with a knife in the climactic PJ vs RJ confrontation. It's like he purposely killed or threw away the best characters (I'm still mourning Bob Kirkland :'( ) and kept all the crappy ones to make his story as annoying as possible.

Okay, guys, I've thought about it, and it's okay.

I mean it wasn't the best episode ever but it was an episode, and I'll admit I like McAllister better than some of the other suspects. 

I know it's disappointing to us but imagine how Bruno must be feeling. He might've put a lot of effort into it and we've been bashing it since it was first leaked. I'll admit it wasn't that great but it could've been worse I guess. 

Read this: 

     It was important to "give a real emotional, pleasing end to that story," creator-showrunner Bruno Heller told reporters, admitting that the ultimate Red John identity slowly "emerged" over the last few seasons. "For me it was about giving Patrick Jane exactly what he's wanted for all these years. He wanted revenge and he got it. I think that's what the audience wanted, so that's what we gave them.""I did feel a sense of pressure, because we've been working toward this for so many years and it was something that had pushed the character from the very beginning [since] 2008. Somehow I had to live up to that in that one moment -- the one moment in the life of the character where he's stepping out into the unknown," Baker acknowledged. "The way we did it was important, because I felt like to pull the trigger is just pulling a trigger, but to actually wrestle with someone is far more kismet."


Now, whatever the reason is as to why that episode wasn't as strong as the previous ones isn't really important. Let's just try to enjoy the rest of the season and cross our fingers that Red John reemerges.

But two things I am absolutely against are McAllister being a fake Red John, because lets face it, it was barely credible with Timothy Carter, and also Red John being as powerful as he was thanks to the fucking Blake Association. I'm sorry it just doesn't fit with the rest of Red John's character who constantly wants to be notcied and admired and the way his followers were so dedicated, I don't think it would be for reasons as simple as an association of corrupt cops, which I hope we won't hear from again because they've already taken up enough screen time, they're too closely associated with Red John and also every member that we've met until now is kind of pathetic and not at all entertaining to watch. 


ONCE AGAIN WE 
ARE NOT GOING TO KILL BRUNO HELLER AND HIS FAMILY, WE ARE NOT GOING TO TRY AND STOP THE SHOW FROM BEING WATCHED BY OTHER PEOPLE. WE ARE GOING TO GET OVER IT, AND HOPE IT GETS BOTHER, BECAUSE ITS JUST A T.V. SHOW.

We have to be honest :
We were all feeling this disappointment
coming episode by episode since the beginning of season sixth (I mean
after the season premiere).
Specially 2 episode ago, when we knew Bruno heller (or his crappy team) couldn't explain everything in 90 minutes, then 44.
This is so disappointing, so many question unanswered upon all you said we can add.

I'm not saying he is. BUT WOULDN'T IT BE PERFECT!!!! I think we need to have an exciting unexpected ending. I definitely don't think that thomas mcallister is red john. They wouldn't just end the show like that. It could MAYBE be patrick i mean they actually use his voice : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_CK_90hei0 it could be him it does make sense but this theory is used so much that i doubt that will happen But cooomaaananan cho being red john would be the best! Like actually .

I think this is what happened:

Family Heller is dining at the table, when the phone rings. Mrs Heller picks up the phone.

Honey, this is for you. It'r Mr Berkeley

BH: Who?

Mr. Heller: The Guy who plays the Sheriff in your show.

BH: Oh ok. Hello?

XB: Hi Bruno, listen, if you give me the part of Red John you don't have to pay me anymore. I swear to God. 

BH: Who are you again?

XB: It's me. Xander.

BH: Who?

XB: The guy who plays the sheriff in the show. 

BH: Are you not supposed to be dead?

XB: I know, i know. It's absolutely senseless. But being red john could acctually rekindle my career. 

BH: But you can't be red john. I had six other people in mind. 

XB: Sure I can ! Everybody could be red john. None of your clues ever made sense. Everyone had a phobia even though you gave me the crappiest one of all. Totally unbelievable. But still.

BH: Ok. But Xander please be realistic. Look at you. No way Loreley would have fallen for you.

XB: She was a slut. Everyone could have banged her, right? Look at how naiv she was. 

BH: But there are so many loose ends. You are the one that doesn't fit at all. Patrick Jane would wanna know so many things from red john. 

XB: So, don't let him ask me any questions. 

BH: Wow. You ARE pretty clever. I will consider it. But what about all the fans?

XB: Bruno, please. This is show business. Who cares about fans? YOU are the Boss. Hahahaha

BH: Hahahaha yeah you are right. Congratulations Xander. Or shall i say RED JOHN ;)

I am not saying PJ is RJ.

If Thomas is not RJ that means PJ become a serial killer and he will continue his murders.

- He has motive.
- He follows a pattern (kills who says I am RJ).
- He has his own signatures (He kills his victims in public places on broad day light. He uses fire arms.)
- He has mental illness history.
- He has access information, fire arms and law enforcement's resources.

What a bunch of haters a_holes... Does every series have the obligation of being written as you order..? If you guys have such a wonderful ideas why are wasting your talent here... you should be writting scripts for Hollywood as of now.

Personally, I loved the last episod, not because I suspected of McAllister, in fact, I thougt Red John was Bob Kirkland. What I loved about that episode, is that I never saw that one coming. It completely surprised me. NO ONE event remotely believed that McAllister was still alive, and the fact that in the end, McAllister was Red John, demonstrated the genius (evil one in this case) of the character. And the final scene, where Red John flees injured, and crawles, and begs, its just wonderful... I really enjoyed seeing that sonofab___ch falling... and the look of relief in Jane's face.

But, as always, after seeing the episode, EVERYBODY have writer delusions, everybody thinks they can do it better.

Good one Bruno, looking forward to see what else do you have...!!
